Grab New York Slices and Foil Tray Parm on City Island

City Island Avenue runs on seafood platters and fried clams, and Augie's plays its corner differently. It is a deli and pizzeria first, the kind of counter where the pizza oven sits at the back and snack racks line the way in. Slices come two ways worth knowing, a classic tomato and basil and a white ricotta number blistered at the edges. The chicken parm arrives in a foil tray under a blanket of mozzarella, and the cheeseburger lands on a sesame roll with a pile of fries. The stuffed pepper baked in marinara is the sleeper order most visitors walk right past, and it rewards anyone who slows down. The room moves quickly between the summer beach crowd and the City Island regulars who treat it as a second kitchen. At 4.3 stars across nearly 200 reviews, it is the low-key island stop locals lean on when the waterfront lines get long.
